The Dayton Creative Incubator Initiative is in discussions with Downtown Dayton Holdings, LLC, owner of the building at 20 N. Jefferson Street in downtown Dayton with the intention of leasing and utilizing the first floor space for community events and activities. This space is approximately 5000 square feet, and currently is in a rough condition, but will be prepared to hold temporary exhibits, events and activities.

The first event the Creative Incubator is holding at 20 N. Jefferson St. is a social for catalysts and initiative team members to come together for a relaxing, fun evening of information sharing and socializing. We hope this event will be the first in a series of monthly socials that will help catalysts and initiative team members from all five initiatives connect with each other on a regular basis. We’ll have food, wine, music and lots and lots of chatter. If you are a catalyst or active initiative team member, we’ll see you then!

The Dayton Creative Incubator Initiative is in discussions with a group of local women who are in the process of planning the first Dayton Ladyfest. The Initiative, through our relationship with Downtown Dayton Holdings, LLC is planning to provide Dayton Ladyfest with the venue (20 N Jefferson Street Community Space) to hold this three day event. Ladyfest will be an official participant of Urban Nights and is planning live music performances, art exhibits and daytime workshops throughout the entire weekend.

Hi nice post, i have come across your site once before when searching for something so i was just wondering something. I love your theme, would it happen to be a free one i can download, or is it a custom one you had made? In a few weeks i will be launching my own site, i’m not great with designs but i really like the style of your site so it would be cool if i could find (or pay for) something with a similar look. :) Thanks!

About

DaytonCREATE is a community empowerment organization helping to connect people and ideas throughout the Dayton-Yellow Springs-Springfield region.

We are working to build vitality back into our communities, back into our regional economy, and back into our individual lives.

To do this, we need to recognize our regional assets and build upon the good. We need to speak out about the issues that matter to us. We need to have a dialogue with others whose ideas are different than our own. And we need to get out and participate.

For more information on our beginnings and how to get involved with area projects, read the about page. We are all volunteers around here, and we need you!
